How many shots per 12 oz

pintbuster · 07-15-2008, 10:37 AM

I know the 10/15 for HPA, but I forget the rule for Co2. Pump sniper, set up decent with a reg, how many shots should I look for out of a 12oz. non siphoned?

You can expect 40-50 shots per ounce of CO2 depending on how your gun is set up. Snipers (if tuned well) are fairly efficient so I would guess on the higher side of that.

On a full fill and not firing too fast, 500-600 shots would be reasonable on a warm day.

I thought you said 12g, not 12oz, and when TrojanMan said 500-600 I was like "whaa?"

lol, but yeah, he pretty much got it right. There are a lot of factors though; such as the valve, springs, regulator, etc..

Oh... you must not have gotten the special springs... send me $100 and I will get those to you ASAP. *tears open Maddmann kit*

For high pressure, low volume operation on co2, I've seen 75-100 per OZ of co2 on a 98C with palmers stab on it, so for the sniper, I'd expect somewhat better...especially if one is able to get 30ish from a 12gram unregged...
